Description:

We live in a time of abundance where our access to information has never been greater. This, however, has not correlated with improved psychological well-being, as stress, burnout, substance abuse, and mental health conditions are on the rise. Early intervention is imperative in preventing burnout or long-term consequences of stress. Everyone experiences stress. How it is managed, however, varies significantly. This session will provide the foundation of how to effectively manage the internal experience of stress to allow for a more fulfilling life.

Learning Outcomes:  

1. Discuss the stress continuum as it relates to stress response zones, levels of function, and need for support.
2. Describe the difference between stress and stressors to include controllable aspects of each.
3. Integrate 2-3 stress management strategies into daily person and professional life.
